in the senate with the clock ticking towards choose days deadline to avoid default . and s.s. veterans gathering in a state here to celebrate the nazi parts causes outrage activists say turning up line died to this can lead to more tragedies similar to what happened in new way. and israel is braced for the biggest protest rally in years anti-government demonstrations in the country begin to echo the arab spring uprisings. a very warm welcome gee this is live from moscow now another plan to avoid a u.s. debt default has failed to paul's through the senate after democrats rejected a cots bill proposed by the republicans with the clock ticking down to tuesday's
10:02 am
deadline there's less time to find a way out of what president obama called the debt mess sound of precedented default crisis economist front of all for it says all the proposals on the table are just putting all the worst outcome. less than two business days away from the worst self-imposed crisis of america's standing in the world and america's credit rating and at least a century it's a fairly emergency situation and we're deep into the eleventh bordering on the twelfth hour the debt reduction plan that president obama has endorsed at least rhetorically that comes out of harry reid and the democratic majority in the u.s. senate does make massive cuts in spending more than two point five trillion dollars over ten years so more than two hundred fifty billion dollars a year does no increase in revenue at all which was one of the early if i think somewhat unwise demands of the republicans in these negotiations and therefore is possible is actually does more to reduce the deficit and the debt in the united states over the next ten years than the rival republican house plan the cut cap and
10:03 am
balance plan and so it's possible that that could be pushed through none of these plans make real efforts to reduce the long term problem of insufficient revenue and these plans do reduce spending in ways that will be painful and for many communities in the united states transformative but it's worthy of note and somehow hasn't much been mentioned that not a single plan out there reduces the national debt they just change the speed by which it grows and u.s. government that represents a need that needs is and equipped to deal with the ever welding problems say says that johnson ente from the u.s. based trans channel. the country is going bankrupt just look at the numbers the numbers don't lie the politicians law books look at the bigger picture first of all they devaluing the dollar and we've been saying it all along gold in the last month is gained one hundred fifteen dollars an ounce the dollars crashing
10:04 am
against the swiss franc and other currencies you can see what's going on and let's look at the bigger picture what they're not talking about in all this deficit reduction hey how about the military budget how about slashing foreign aid fifty seven billion dollars a year how about companies like general electric that made fourteen billion dollars last year paying no taxes look there's plenty of room out there to start raining this thing in and turning it around we do not have a representative form of government that's only for a little kiddies to believe we have a government that represents only the very powerful and the very rich and that's all this is about letting them keeping their perks in the ground we hit the streets that they counseled americans well they think the debt. makes me wonder how they ever get anything done in israel or in italy or any place really
10:05 am
have multi parties i would go to court is to an employers if you could the teeth and we can't get anything done sometimes it takes a while to. things really are they keep on saying the american people want this america it would just. be anybody really what they really want. an s.s. of veterans and not see the halting that annual meeting they've counted with the support of the local authorities well now had accomplished. that by arafat from the scene. we're here in this town a cinema for the annual gathering of the versions of the a stain in waffen s.s. now the event has attracted widespread criticism of the is being seen to glorify nazi is a spirit. criticized being seen not only to condone this talk
10:06 am
but for having made it increasingly difficult over the years for those who oppose this to come to rally now the anti fascist movement hold a rally very nearby at the same time as this is going on and as we said in recent years we've seen people coming from latvia from the thruway in year from finland they've been detained at the borders not being able to enter and take part again today coming in a lot of the people who are involved in the anti fascist movement rally that's happening nearby have been questioned by police we know that the head of the anti fascist finnish organization was actually detained last night at the pool of talent and he wasn't allowed to leave the base so he's being sent back today russia since two thousand and five has been introducing draft legislation to the u.n. condemning the glorification of nazi isn't we've seen a number of countries get on board with this but there have been some that haven't events like this that have got the government support here in
10:07 am
a stay in year certainly cause a lot of anger and at the very least is seen as being morally and politically insensitive. and from the finish and the fascist committee turning a blind eye to sell to events and it may lead to more tragedies similar to those attacks in a way. all normal that the main break their hands are really breaking to keep their speech story and their outrageous that these is this the young prime minister or the ending that they're all watching and supporting it and because european union has been so lousy and weak the hormones. not only themselves all of these as right wing extremists and not just rising now into nothing we were all laughing already the. one example of the. well the baltic states have become infamous in recent years for what is being dubbed the we seeing of history the annual meetings of nazi veterans
10:08 am
a happening in latvia as well with an official court ruling all surprising them back in two thousand and seven a state authorities removed a monument commemorating the soviet soldiers who liberated the country from the patient while the move caused valliant protests. will do head to the website of all new documentary channels who discover more about the history of world war two a collection of original for six brings you in chilling reality the experience that was for the millions of people who suffer through it will go on salty dog. dot com to find out.

now is read it's bracing itself for the biggest protest rally in the years thousands have been camping out across the country for a week now calling for social justice and for prime minister netanyahu to go and the biggest rally is expected to start in a matter of hours in tel aviv let's cross live there now to talk to. an independent journalist and blogger many thanks for being with us here on r.t. now you've said in all schools that you wrote the protests. sprang up out of the blue almost overnight but surely the tensions in israel must have been brewing for quite sometime to force people out onto the streets like this. the tension has
10:10 am
been building up for the middle class but it was a wrong mostly economical issues have been some protests involved petrol prices cheese prices and all this change of cost of living. which just as been the biggest so you're talking about. the cost of every day living every day. some people that we've been speaking to on this channel have been drawing comparisons between what's happening now in israel and the protests that we saw taking place not without. well i think the arab revolutions served as inspiration for some of the protesters and they're using slogans that were used in egypt or in other places but still. this is a this is a lot to do with the economical reason within the israeli society.
10:11 am
and the actual part of the torrent of protests around the middle east to say it's do with the economic situation within israel being felt by the middle classes you've also written about the fact that you believe israel stopped long ago being the welfare state that its founding fathers really dreamed of why do you think that that's. exactly what happened is during the seventy's and eighty's. left the well first. began to. capitalistic ideology and since then big gaps in society has why did tremendously this used to be one of the most equal societies in the west and now it's only second to the united states in the gaps between rich and poor. and there his has been some outrage by the middle class about this issue but we never seen a protest as big as this one and so could that be
10:12 am
a connection do you think between israel's social problems that you've been talking about and the occupation or the palestinian territories the very unique internal struggles that we see taking place in israel today. well i don't think this protest was affected directly from the geopolitical game or from the occupation but i think it will have effect on it and said that this is a real challenge for what has been so far the most stable government that israel has been years now and then you know was able to maintain his coalition when it comes to the palestinian issue but even if he doesn't survive this challenge this would have some serious effects on the geo political game let's talk about the reaction of the government he say fossils taking place in israel you've also said that the government says dismissed these protesters as a spoiled kids but the situation it's really quite serious tell us that with so much space actually calling for
10:13 am
a revolution do you think the government changing its position on how to react. yes i think the government is was stunned. they've been improvising ever since this protest started at the beginning it was an attempt to portray this as something that only happens in tel aviv bunch of spoiled kids but when the protests spread around the country then the new talking point is that the protesters have some serious issues but it's not this government fault. i don't think the government has a real policy vis a vis this broad just right now i think that you know is mainly improvising and here is yet to come with something that would satisfy the needs of the protesters i'm not sure if he's actually able to do the torah. capable of that because not the always the pseudo politician that is most inventive new liberalism in israel both.
10:14 am
in his first term as prime minister and finance minister the beginning of the previous decade so this is really personally about you know so interesting to see how prime is and ahead you know he reacts once this protest in tel aviv gets under way no independent journalism blogger many thanks for speaking to us. thank you. now a little journalism on a lot of the frequent findings of recent media surveys in the u.s. as newspapers across the country close the p.r. machine is rushing to fill the vacuum christine frazzles been finding out what it may mean for society it is the end of the personality the fall the additional cost intelligence that newspapers like the seattle post intelligencer the rocky mountain news and hundreds more have now become relics from the past. slash budgets have stopped the presses at newsrooms nationwide. and nast layoffs
10:15 am
throughout media have meant far fewer journalists to investigate policy and procedure we're losing our sense of accountability in government and business in our. life lives if we lose journalists who aren't asking questions about what's going on the numbers particularly dramatic with newspapers where revenue has been cut nearly in half while the journalism industry is shrinking the public relations industry is expanding at one time a one to one ratio between p.r. employees and journalists today that ratio is four to one with p.r. revenues jumping from three point five billion to eight point seven billion dollars journalists are simply overwhelmed by folks who are trying to spin them or trying to create their own story you have the public relations folks the spin doctors if
10:16 am
you will driving the news cycle john nichols along with robert mckee has me wrote a book about it the death and life of american journalism in a sense we are becoming one of the most propagandized countries in the world short staffed news stations often use company video news releases or vienne ours like this one if you have x. about chances are the first they're going to fill it up because they need to apply p.r. described as news the new treatment is called mimics press releases also often read on the air or posted on the web before any fact checking is done with the focus often on getting it first rather than getting it right good evening everybody breaking news tonight but we are cutting into our program with some breaking news where corporate and government p.r. departments are filled with former journalists who know how to sell their message they understood out media worked what. reporters thought of as a good story as opposed to hype bush ward work for nearly twenty years as

a journalist with the philadelphia inquirer but after layoffs he left to work for health insurer independent blue cross before returning to work as a journalist not revolving door between the press and p. are the press and governor. it's causing real concern about what the long term effects could be if the influx of spin doctors take over the message machine completely where there is very little journalism be done in an awfully lot of spin you create some dangerous circumstances for citizenry for democracy itself go straight to questions white house spokesman jay carney worked for twenty years as a journalist for time magazine now he's president obama's spokes person former broadcaster and columnist tony snow went on to serve as a spokesperson for president bush and jamie rubin went from the state department under president clinton to executive editor at bloomberg news so common such as a common practice and no one else no one is questioning or or in
10:18 am
a time when hakken flack are often one in the same and the spin machine works overtime as the printing presses come to a halt the question becomes can him even full force the state actually survive. in washington christine for our t.v. . or full coverage of all top stories is available twenty four seven at home and here's just some of what else is online right now the spirit of robin hood arrives in central russia instead of burbling about her scar on the breadline these needs the money under a note saying she should use the money to help herself also. an amazing tale of love and fidelity a male swan is banished to how much is a young a strange dog killed the mother the moral the single father success and of course all things long gone home.

now equal access to education for children of different backgrounds may be a good idea but is getting a mixed response in india the government's unprecedented right to education act to provide compulsory and free education for all children between six and fourteen but is india's centuries old social divide that's getting in the way is pretty sure to report. it's dawn in india's capital city of new delhi an eight year old cushy just wall is getting ready for school while there are nearly two hundred million elementary school children like cushy in india only half that number ever complete the eighth grade most end up leaving school to help their parents with domestic work or to get a job to bring in some extra money maybe i haven't studied much that's why i want
10:20 am
to educate my children after growing pressure to address the educational disparities in india the government passed an act making it mandatory for all children between the ages of six and fourteen to get a free education it even requires elite private schools with tuitions nearing five hundred dollars per month to grant a quarter of their seats to students from disadvantaged backgrounds like cushy today there are just as many schools where students have to pay a choice unlike this one as there are free schools that are funded by the government according to the act it's up to the parents to decide where they bend their names to school that means a student like cushy can attend an elite private school if she entered then wins the lottery and gets into the twenty five percent quota it also means that if government workers are able to identify and successfully in a row she is insist that are attending more than just schools like the ones pushing attendance now could get overcrowded but the idea of free schooling in india has its opponents while the teachers want to see their students succeed they believe
10:21 am
that integrating indian children from a lower class into a private school would not be practical. these elite schools have a very high standard only juden whose parents are educated can study in schools like these schools want to maintain their high standards and reputation. its a position supported by the well off members of indian society the school is not meant for them. it's meant for. the good miller did in the sense that he comes from. his view leave it. well what they were there. were doing him in that sort of an environment so he would have trouble getting assimilated in spite of the mixed reception the integration model received for children like cushy education is simply about accomplishing her dreams i want to started to twelfth grade ten become a teacher. but it's
10:22 am
a dream the may just fall through the gap of india's socio economic divide. preassure either r t new delhi india and you can follow the latest developments on this story and. call me where the reveals she's been speaking to both rich and poor parents to find out what the they think of the reform as what many wealthy indians believe that children would be academically held back if there was a quota for the poor while a school principal in a poverty stricken neighborhood told her he believes his students would never be able to compete in an elite private school keep up to date with the first hundred adults was a page out of school called. and we're turning to our top story now the u.s. debt ceiling deadlock and the approaching second deadline with a solution on the horizon best of all as it is the president's been finding out whether people feel a financial apocalypse is around the corner. with
10:23 am
the looming debt crisis the u.s. is watching the clock tick down to an economic armageddon what does that even mean that this week let's talk about that they keep setting dates over and over again and nothing happened just part of the negotiation process i think so it's idle threat. i believe so do you expect more from the people you like. neither party is going to let this actually happen where they would let it expire and then the united states would go into default i don't think that's going to happen i think that's a bluff but i think what actually is at hand is for real and they're they're using it as leverage to push their respective issues but i think americans if i'm speaking for myself as an american are sick of it representing the reports that they think that they were representing but i don't i think they keep on saying the american people want this market want this but i don't think anybody really what they really want what do you want i would like
10:24 am
a compromise right now the drama right now is largely contrived there is a debt crisis but will make it through and you know will pay the bills and things will be fine so all this drama i think is just making people crazy why are they doing that now i mean we raise the debt ceiling every year why is this drama unfolding right now well it's largely political because the upcoming election you know it's a good thing it's finally happening i think the people are speaking up and and hopefully we'll get our way but sometimes it takes a while to bad things really are i mean nobody is given any ground of so you know you log before for many many years and this is absolutely truly amazing and makes me wonder how they ever get anything done in israel or in italy or any place where they have multi parties i mean we've got two parties to an airport if you include the two guys and we can't get anything done is utterly embarrass amish will be ashamed of themselves no matter what happens with the u.s.
10:25 am
debt crisis the bottom line is we're. found the a lot more posturing from all the politicians and it's. more insightful news from across the globe now and nato is saving the story of three t.v. satellite dishes near the libyan capital tripoli was said to have been carried out in accordance with the u.n. resolution to protect people from government oppression through the media however it's failed to not libyan state television unfair it's now been four months since nato military campaign began living government claims hundreds of civilians have been killed in the airstrikes. norway's world powerless and the headquarters of the ruling labor party were among all the possible targets of the mass killer on those brevik also according to a prosecuting speight to local media believe it was questioned for a second time friday it comes as the country continues to be the seventy seven

victims of the bomb attack in central oslo shooting less on a toy items. russian pilots taking it to the skies in small airplanes have long been grounded by other marginal amounts of paperwork but recently adopted law has dropped some of the legal age clearing the runway for more frequent flights however many obstacles remain before it's the golden age for russia's small aviation enthusiasts is that a spoiler explains. dozens of pilots winging their way across russia for the second annual qubani air show for most small aircraft enthusiastic support fictions to meet other pilots and to enjoy the beautiful southern scenery. it took us almost eight hours to get then the views with time time stick in november last year russia dumped it and you all for small aircraft pilots it sounds very promising abolishing much of the preflight paperwork letting the pilots use new airfields and generally
10:27 am
adopting international flight rules it's a dream for any plane owner in russia however not all of the old restrictions were lifted but in the soviet times you actually had to have all the paperwork with you during the flight now the rules have changed but there are still thumb through it and sometimes even up third requirements for the pilots of small planes for instance even if the pilot and the mechanic in the same berth and you know have the main pain ridden would come and a phone thrown one through another the new regulations allow the so-called notification mode instead of asking for permission for takeoff from the authorities in theory the pilots can now use the internet for air traffic control of their plans but in reality it rarely works according as you can see there are many forbidden no restricted zones around mosco so it's impossible for us to use notification mode anywhere within a two hundred kilometer radius of the capital even with the new law dozens of government organisations issue all sorts of contradictory instructions for pilots
10:28 am
it's a major disincentive for pilots to make the effort to take to the skies and that means that russia is missing out on the potential pot of gold will some countries like the u.s. get billions of dollars from small aircraft fees and taxes russia doesn't get a cent parkour if the feel of the current regulations are in chaos and in that mess we're losing around five hundred billion rubles annually if you're the governor of the earth. however many pilots like that what this year's scoob on air show are up to mystic about fighting the real chrissie and all of that when he works with the modeling the new deal was just the first any step the rest of the goods ahead of us but eventually we will learn to fly again through russia small aviation enthusiasts feel the broker see is served only to clip their week's no hopes on high of seeing blue sky over the horizon dennis wolski r.t.e. cross in the region. next the moscow team gets out of moscow where the guides have
